The Light of Lumiere

As the owner of MOBA Bb and A clarinets, I have gone through several barrels to fine tune my set up. A colleague suggested the Lumiere barrel and things snapped into place. Playing these clarinets is now a genuine pleasure. I now have one for each of my clarinets. Thanks!!

Sounds great!

The tone on the fatboy barrel is wonderful and I love the way it looks. So far so good. Just got it today.

Finally was able to afford this

Waited for a while to afford this. Great reviews online and also direct personal colleagues. I needed a shorter barrel to play in various venues. The 64mm seems to improve throat register on my R13 Bb and just makes my A R13 sound and play even better. Good choice. Stock barrels that came with my Buffets were already good but this seems to really improve the timbre and tuning.I play in Phoenix AZ and the climate here is challenging to say the least.

Backun fatboy barrel

This barrel truly elevated my playing to a new level. After having tried many barrels from Backun this is my favorite one. It allows a broader sound useful for jazz and any other band setting. It also allows for a much smoother changing of partials that is very noticeable.
